Kindle Fire HD Backgrounds

Not only do the new Kindle Fire HD tablets come with extra cool new features, but they also sport some new HD Backgrounds!

I've posted pictures of each of the backgrounds for both portrait and landscape since the images on the new HD devices actually rotate now.

Update: This page shows the background images that are on the 2012 Kindle Fire tablets. See my other page for 2013 and 2014 backgrounds.

If you received a Kindle Fire with the Special Offer Ads, you'll be able to see these cool background photographs, but once you register your device the ads will replace them. The only way you can see these pre-installed wallpapers is to unsubscribe from the ads and special offers.

Kindle Fire Love!

I actually quite like most of the new background photographs on the Kindle Fire HD, much more than the original Kindle Fire backgrounds. I also think the variety is better suited to this awesome device, what with the pictures of the chess and checkers game pieces.

So did you take a guess at which you think is my favorite? I left you a big huge hint since it's the one on my tablet at the very top of this page. Yep, it's the book spine background (number 2)! Which are your faves?

How to Change Kindle Fire HD Backgrounds

Unfortunately, Amazon has cracked down on our ability to replace the default background images with our own custom images, like we can with the original Kindle Fire.
